Out of the 1,012 rental re­lief ap­pli­ca­tions, 657 were processed and 52 fraud­u­lent ones re­ject­ed.

On Op­po­si­tion MP Rod­ney Charles’ con­cern that his area has 3,000 school feed­ing par­tic­i­pants and his area on­ly re­ceived 600 food cards, Robin­son-Reg­is said the list done on the sit­u­a­tion was two-fold.

She said some stu­dents al­ready have food cards and sev­er­al chil­dren from some house­holds are in the pro­gramme. Those who didn’t get food cards re­ceived mar­ket box ham­pers plus $250 gro­cery vouch­ers.

Al­so in Par­lia­ment, Pub­lic Util­i­ties Min­is­ter Fitzger­ald Hinds said one TTEC em­ploy­ee from a crew was sent for COVID-19 test­ing on May 12. With his re­sults pend­ing, on May 19, five oth­er crew em­ploy­ees were sent to Mt Hope.

How­ev­er, they weren’t test­ed. They were giv­en sick leave pend­ing his re­sults.

He said TTEC im­ple­ment­ed sys­tems to en­sure Health Min­istry mech­a­nisms to pro­tect em­ploy­ees and cus­tomers.
